Using the Equity 386SX

This chapter describes the following procedures for using your

Equity 386SX computer:

Installing MS-DOS

Using a power-on password

Selecting the operating speed

Using special keys on the keyboard

Stopping a command or program

Resetting the computer

Using disks and disk drives

Turning off the computer.

Installing MS-DOS

After you connect the components of your system and run

the Setup program, you must install MS-DOS. Follow the

instructions in your MS-DOS Installation Guide.

The MS-DOS installation process automatically copies the

MS-DOS files onto your hard disk or generates working copies

of the original MS-DOS diskettes. It is best to make another set

of backup copies of your original MS-DOS diskettes. You may

also want to copy the working diskettes MS-DOS generates if

you do not have a hard disk.
